Short Term Outcome Of Thoracic Endovascular Aortic Repair In Patients WithThoracic Aortic Diseases

Document Type : Abstracts

Abstract

Open surgical repair for thoracic aortic diseases
is associated with a high perioperative mortality
and morbidity. Most of type B aortic dissections
are uncomplicated and are medically treated
which carries
a high mortality rate. Thoracic endovascular
aortic repair is the first-line therapy for isolated
aneurysms of the descending aorta and
complicated type B aortic dissection.
